I would also be interested to know if anyone writes themselves. I used to, many many years ago, both in Urdu and Punjabi. Haven't done so for a long long time though. I'll see if I can find some of my own stuff and post it.

ages ago I saw some bolly movie where the main character says a joke like "Jawaani ki shokhiyaan budhape ke...." cant remember what it was...

Shokhiyaan, if literally translated, means the act of showing off, or to proudly display an attribute or posession, to strut ones stuff basically. In this context, Jawaani Ki Shokhiyaan can be taken as the exuberance, physical attraction, playfullness, flirtiness and mischief of youth.

I do understand a majority of it. Some of it is a bit too pure and my ignorance gets the better of me. Bulleh Shah's poetry is amazing as are all the works of our Sufi Poets like Mian Mohammed Bakhsh, Sakhi Sultan Bahoo, Waris Shah and Khwaja Ghulam Farid.
